They're going to try to push the left as the real antivax crusaders, aren't they?

    The few people they named, mattew heimbach, Craig Jardula, Fiorella Isabel, and Jimmy dore - are literally nobodies.

    Except for Dore (because he pops up here whenever something stupid relating to the DSA pops up) and Heimbach (because when I heard a neonazi was running with the m4a crowd I immediately thought "boy this sounds like the perfect op to associate Universal Healthcare and the succdem progressive movement with the fash") the people cited literally pulled out of the authors ass

      Kind of like how Richard Spencer "agreed with the left" on impeaching trump or something..

      I can't remember what it was, but man, centrists love jumping on that shit because their ideology can't be proactively advanced, since there isn't an agenda to speak of. They just have to attack change, whether it comes from the left or right.

    This doesn't look like manufacturing consent for portraying the left as antivax. The whole article is about how antivax cranks shouldn't be allowed to glom onto the platforms created by left-leaning people to call for stuff like Medicare for All. It's about having better organization and ideological vetting, which are both good things.

      Scrolling through his twitter a bit made me think he was alright. Lots of coverage of workers' issues.
